REHABILITATION OF KHASHM EL-GIRBA DAM (K.E.G) WITH SPECIFIC REFERENCE TO HARNESSING ADDITIONAL HYDROPOWER - (Sudan)

Abstract

This study, as is clear from the title, Consists to two main parts: First: rehabilitation of the various components of the dam. This work is divided to . Civil works: Here discuss the rehabilitation of various civil components to plug each separately. Rehabilitation of concert dam body. Rehabilitation of embankment dams (right and left bank). Maintenance and new installation of different measurements system devices. . hydro mechanical works: View current status of all hydromechanics components and rehabilitations requirements, (radial gates, Slits gates, trash racks, seals, etc.) for each dam stations. Second: harnessing additional hydroelectric available That, by study different alternative design, for produce electricity to meet the population growth, thus the energy demand growth. On this chapter, several alternative designs were studied to take advantage of the replacement the compensating pumps station (Proportion to the lack of need for this station now and in the future) by turbines. This has been done in this study in a nutshell.
